Magic announced a partnership with Google Cloud to build two new cloud-based supercomputers to support Magic's mission of developing code assistants with a context window of 100 million tokens, equivalent to 10 years of human speech. Magic has chosen Google Cloud as its preferred cloud provider and will utilize Google Cloud's AI Hypercomputer architecture and tooling to build frontier-scale AI models that can automate aspects of software engineering.
What I find particularly interesting about this collaboration is the focus on developing powerful code assistants. These tools, with their ability to understand a vast context of code, will be able to assist developers more effectively in tasks such as writing code, debugging, and suggesting solutions to problems.
I envision this development leading to a massive acceleration in the pace of software development, making it faster and more cost-effective. I also expect to see the emergence of a new generation of developers who rely heavily on these tools, fundamentally changing the way we work.
It is also exciting to see Google Cloud continue to lead the way in cloud infrastructure. Providing the computing power needed to train these massive models will help push the boundaries of AI significantly.
Overall, I believe this partnership between Magic and Google Cloud represents a major step forward in the field of AI. It will have far-reaching implications for the software industry and beyond.
